OOC:Sorry about being tardy! Ascher will likely shift last, out of apprehension. Word Count: 425
IC:
Heart beating quickly, Ascher wondered how everything would transpire. The whole process of shifting seemed ritualistic and solemn, even though all the three of them were doing was concentrating. Ascher knew he had not yet tried to shift, but something felt completely natural in all of this. As if becoming a tall, two-legged wolf were as normal as the conversation that had sparked the brothers' joint effort. Ascher's mind wandered a bit there, imagining his brothers waking up in the morning, padding outside to stretch and smell the morning while trading morning pleasantries like "good morning, Asch, did you sleep well?" and "What a beautiful day." Then while talking so candidly, their bodies would just start lengthening and changing, as if nothing were out of place.
How in the world could that be natural? With a suddenly pounding heart, Ascher silently went through his crisis. He wanted to be brave like Saul, and confident like Gideon, but here he was having second thoughts of entering into adulthood. He thought he saw Saul's fur growing just a little bit longer already, and though Ascher knew it took longer than an instant to shift, he started seeing his brothers growing and looking resplendent in their larger bodies. He really wanted to be like them, and make them proud to be his family, so he would have to try to be bold like they were. It was still comforting to see Gideon open and close his eyes as if he were also having trouble - at least the both of them were not leaving their little brother behind. But that kind of thinking was mean, and Ascher never wanted to be mean to his family.
So the youngest Stormbringer reached out his muzzle to Gideon and touched his cheek. Ashcer's eyes smiled because he knew that his brother would not have trouble if he and Saul believed in him - and Saul certainly was not having any trouble in believing in his shifting with his excitement. "We've got this, right Giddie? This won't be hard, at all, and you'll look really cool afterward. I'm sure Nayru will think you're an awesome adult once you walk up to her, huh?" That was how Ascher felt he would look and act after shifting, no matter how odd it was to make it happen. But hopefully Gideon would be as excited as Saul now, and they would all shift in style.
Ascher made a small fuss of looking like he was concentrating harder, which he was. He hoped for the best.
